Enable Regex for searches #36

Without the power of regular expressions searching, this is not yet browsing the history like a boss... merely like middle management.

Make us all bosses, you have the power to do it!

Shouldn't be too hard indeed. This plugin uses datatables and here's an example of datatable demonstrating global search with and without regex:

I am open to contributions. There should be a button or a checkbox beside search to allow enabling regex. Regex shouldn't be enabled by default as I think it's an advanced feature and new users may not already know about regex (even tho it's a very powerful tool) 👍
